After a brief hiatus last month, we’re back with Episode 7 of “Fielding Practice” for Centerfield: Art in the Middle with Bad at Sports. This month, our roundtable gabfest includes panelists Richard Holland of Bad at Sports, artist Dan Gunn, Art21 Blog editor Claudine Isé, and is moderated by Bad at Sports’ Duncan MacKenzie. We discuss the issues brought up during The Dialogue: MCA Chicago’s Annual Conversation on Museums, Diversity, and Inclusion, a recent event at Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art featuring a panel discussion between the MCA’s curator Naomi Beckwith, Chicago’s Commissioner of Cultural Affairs Michelle T. Boone, and YouTube sensation Hennessey Youngman a.k.a. artist Jayson Musson, creator of “Art Thoughtz.” Then, we move on for a drive-by tour of some of the fall openings that took place in Chicago on Friday, September 9th. As always, thanks for listening!
